Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 pinch salt

Chocolate Filling

  • 12 oz dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk (or any plant milk you prefer)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Berry Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups mixed seasonal berries (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1–2 tbsp berry jam or fruit spread, warmed to glaze

Instructions
 

Make the Crust

  • Pulse oats, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a food processor until crumbly.
  • Add maple syrup and melted coconut oil; process until mixture clumps when pressed.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even base.
  • Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling (at least 15–30 minutes).

Prepare the Chocolate Filling

  • Heat coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam (don’t boil).
  • Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
  • Stir in maple syrup and vanilla.
  • Pour the silky chocolate into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Tap gently to release air bubbles.

Chill and Top

  • Chill the tart in the refrigerator until the filling sets, about 2–3 hours. For quicker set, place in the freezer for 45–60 minutes, then move to the fridge.
  • Arrange berries on top just before serving and brush lightly with warmed jam to give a glossy finish.

Notes

Use good-quality dairy-free chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture. Press the crust firmly and evenly; chilled crust firms up and prevents sogginess. If your filling separates, rewarm gently and whisk until smooth again — patience is key. For a sharper slice, chill thoroughly and run a warm knife under hot water between cuts. For more crunchy ideas, consider adding toasted nuts or seeds.
